Football Playoffs to Change??? (Already?)

[All Play No Work]

From Ryan Ernst (Enquirer) blog:

 

Apparently the state's coaches aren't real thrilled with the new postseason format -- now in its second year -- that pits district rivals against one another in the first two rounds of the playoffs.

 

 

From Mike Fields (Lex Herald):

 

If your satellite dish delivered nothing but reruns tonight -- almost 100 in all -- it certainly wouldn't rate as must-see TV.

 

That's what Kentucky high school football is delivering tonight in the first round of the newly expanded playoffs. Nothing but reruns. We've seen all these games before during the regular season.

 

That's not a good thing.

 

In talking with coaches across the state, I've heard a lot more complaints about the playoff format than the expansion to six classes.

 

One argument against the new format is that matchups decided by lopsided scores in the regular season won't draw many fans in the playoffs.

 

 

 

What say you?

Vote and post.

If we go back to interdistrict playoff games, we need to reduce the number of classes and cut down on the travel. In Class A, District 1 is far western Kentucky ... District 2 is the Louisville area.

 

In short, there was nothing wrong with the system we had in 2005 ... it wasn't broke, so why did some feel they had to try to fix it?
